The room was clean. We didn't expect a "Garden View" room, but to be in the basement was a little disappointing. It was good having a lift for 80% of our stay though. The hotel is ideally located and we would stay again

This ‘Hotel’ is more in keeping with a hostel in terms of accommodation, service and facilities. Obviously, its USP resides with its proximity to EC etc. Main observations: the one tiny person lift was not operational. If you like Leningrad accommodation this is for you - I shall not be returning.

All was good but step to the bathroom was too high and toilet/shower area was too small but everything else great
It's okay for 1 night. Old building so sound insulation is almost non existent. Elevator only fits a single person with their bags. The room is the smallest I've ever seen, the "table" was maybe 15cm deep lol. Was fine and located close to 24/7 weekend subway line to the Hammersmith Apollo.

Room was alright but had stains on the walls. Only realised at the end of our stay but there was a plaster stuck to the hand towel, pretty gross. Other than that the staff were lovely and it was a great area to stay in.
The staff were all fabulous and responsive. The location is excellent - few minute walk to the tube station. It is definitely a value play. The room is lacking unfortunately. The mattresses were old and too soft and uncomfortable. It was a tiny room and the bathroom had a shower stall that was so tight, I couldn't bend down to wash my feet, not a well designed shower. The building is clearly an older building and needs a bit of upkeep. Would I come back to the same hotel? I doubt it but never say never.
There were shops nearby and an underground station. Room was adequate. TV was very high up on the wall and very small.
Shower had no water pressure and the water was luke warm.
Beds were very basic. Room was warm enough, but there was no way to change the temperature.
Room was nice, all the staff were very nice. My windows didn’t close all the way and the heat wasn’t very strong, so it was very cold in my room constantly!
